SHAH ALAM, Dec 1 — The Selangor government plans to take over part of the federal roads in the industrial areas that are managed by the Public Works Department (JKR) to be handed over to the local authorities.
State executive councillor for public transport Ng Sze Han said the local authorities have the allocations to repair roads in the areas concerned.
Discussions are in progress between the PBTs and JKR on the matter, he said in response to a supplementary question from Sijangkang state assemblyman Datuk Dr Ahmad Yunus Hairi (PAS-) at the State Legislative Assembly sitting, earlier today.
In another development, Ng said the local government authorities were also monitoring the status of abandoned premises in industrial areas to avoid them from becoming dumping grounds and being used for unlawful activities.
He said this in response to an oral question from Taman Medan state assemblyman Syamsul Firdaus Mohamed Supri on the matter.
